AHMC began introducing innovation into their health system with the goal of enhancing clinical effectiveness. Critical to healthcare quality and safety, clinical effectiveness ensures that the total healthcare experience of patients remains a priority. Dr. Ana Maria Jimenez, Director of Quality at AHMC, has kept this goal in mind from the time the hospital first adopted UpToDate®, an evidenced-based clinical support solution in 2018. “Clinical effectiveness means being able to achieve optimum processes and patient outcomes. This can be done through the application of the best knowledge derived from the latest evidence. In other words, clinical effectiveness is using evidence to improve the effectiveness of clinical practice and service delivery,” explains Dr. Jimenez
